I like the name Yahushua

.

My story is one of growth and maturity. I agree with Deb, as a black woman I never dreamed I'd be living the life I'm living now. Carmine isn't black but he's black enough

Woo my husband is so ghetto

the difference is he's a provider, he loves me and I never doubt it. i never dreamed I would have what I have so my story is one of growth and more black people need to grow. That means thinking outside the box and questioning some of the religious shit they have been subjected to all their lives.

Our story was racial to me. It's been full of hardships and disparity. It's been rough. I think we need to keep standing up like the Black Lives Matter Movement. We need to keep fighting for our rights. We have been passive way to long. I honeslty think the families of those recently murdered are being paid off to let the murders rest. We suffer so much financially I can't say I blame them. But that's why they make sure we don't have a damn thing. All of it is so they can control us all of it.

The story is the American story to me and it's not a good story. It's a tragic, vicious, cruel account of how one race oppresses another race simply because they can.

I like the site Mason and I like the forum. I like Yahushua for the name of our savior.

My story is one of rags to riches. Not only in money but in love and peace. Chris is so good to me and I never dreamed I'd be living in another country and loving it. I'm working on my Italian so I'd say growth is part of my story as well. I'm maturing and looking at life in a better light spiritual, emotionally, and morally. Our story I fell is the African American race of which I am a part. I think it continues to suffer greatly at the hands of White Americans an people in America who condone and contribute to racism are demonic to me. I think America is full of evil demons sucking the life out all those who are normal. The story is the human story and I think it speaks for itself. Religion is an excuse to murder. The perception of God is distorted by religion all over the planet, and that distortion is bringing about an inability to grow and become civilized.

I think the article put the situation on the table. I think religion is destroying the fiber of what holds humanity together and I think this is evident if we just look at what's going on in the world today.

I think the forum is better and easy to get around. I like Yahushua for the official name of the messiah. The article just convinced me to do what Mark suggest. Mark we will start doing that now since it is warming up and the extreme cold doesn't agree with me. I love it there and I don't want my kids subjected to the things that go on here.

My story is about my life and the effects this society has had on me. It's hard, always has been. My biological mother said life was always hard for her. She was sexually abused as a young girl and it set her on the wrong path. She says she got connected with the wrong people once she ran off but she's joining the group and she's a big part of my now and I can tell she's really been through hell. Mason thank you for embracing my mom and welcoming her. She really likes you and I learned my mother is half African American. She was fifteen when she had me and really had no say or control over what happened to me. It tore her apart and it makes her cry when she hears what I went through. I have three half siblings and we are all coming together. They will be at the meeting this time and I can't believe I have a family thanks to Mike and Marcus. They found my mother and she really needed me. I'm glad I can be here for her. My ex-wife is trying to be nice to me as well. I forgive because I have matured in my faith but I told her that doesn't mean I want her in my life. I have a new wife and I love her very much. I have found myself and my life is on the right track. I am able to help the rest of my family and they need me.

Our story to me was my culture and now it includes the story of my black heritage as well as my white culture. I think the two are sadly not good stories. I'm tired of all of it, all the hate, all the strife. I've the times I hated hearing racial stuff I now know why. It's affecting me and I don't like how it makes me feel. I want to be in a place where people are not treated like they don't matter.

The story is we better get it together as a species or we will be left behind. We are far behind the civilized train and it's going to pass us by. I agree with the 95/5 scenario. We are way to barbaric at this stage of the game and I agree we need a Virgil.

Wow I'm glad we are back up. I like our site better

. I like Yahushua too it's so lovely the way it sounds.

My story is one of being a sheltered child and things with smooth for me until I became a mother. It then became tragic up until Valentines day of 2015 when we lost our only daughter. It had bright moments, adopting our son has been a highlight in my life and having my grandchildren around us. It's been a story of growth and maturity in every way especially spiritually.

Our story to me is the American story and I'm disappointed that we continue to oppress the African American race. That part of our story is very sad and tragic. I mean things are really horrible with all these shootings going and black men being senselessly shot down by law enforcement. I think it's tragic that things are still as bad as they are. She our story is not a good thing.

The story is not so good either and that's the human story. As a species our behavior I agree is not very civilized or progressive. Who would want us in their world behaving the way humans behave. There is too much bad barbaric behavior for us to be a progressive species and that's tragic.

I like it. We can use the smileys now. I also think it's easier to get around. I also like the home page and I did see the questions and answers I like it. I pushed preview and I can see what I'm typing and how it will look when it posts.

I like Yahushua too or Yahweh.

My story has been a long winding road of growth physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I have learned quite a bit from birth to now and I proudly say I am a positive influence to people around me. I've had my mind changed about so many things. I was a racists at one point and I've learned that is horrible and stupid and I'm glad to be a more clear thinker. I was a conservative republican and I've learned that is against all that humanity needs to be if they want to progress. I am now a liberal Democrat. I was a steadfast Catholic, and now I'm a open minded Gnostic. I knew what it was to have a troubled daughter and know know what it's like to have a level headed successful son.

Our story is the American story and it is one that has failed to grow in a way I have grown. To much is happening that is a result of that failure to grow. To many people are being hurt by that failure to grow. Our story is a tragic one.

The story isn't much better and I agree we need divine intervention that gives us a no nonsense facilitator like Virgil in UE.

The article only makes the story more clear and it is quite sad indeed.

I think the site is more user friendly Aunt Mason.

I like Yahushua instead of Jesus for the same reason Benji gave. Rocky welcome to the mixed crowd bro. I knew we shared a kindred

.

The article was serious and really expressed why traditional religion isn't a good thing and has failed us as humans. If anything it's produced all the horrible things many people have turned into.

My story is one of turmoil, confusion, and rebellion. I have finally matured and I feel like a different person. I have grown and like the judge says, we learn that certain ideologies do us great harm and hinder progression and humans are supposed to progress, that is evolution, progression.

Our story is the American story and all I can say is our story is scary. It's not progressive for many folks and it's pretty regressive for many others. I'm seeing the 95/5 way more clearer as I age Aunt Mason and I'm certain I'm a part of the 5% thank God.

The story is the human story and 5's we are headed in the right direction but it's been predicted and prophesied that only the 5% will ascend and I do believe a time of ascension is drawing near.
